What will the world be like in 10 years? Or 50? We don't know – but we all need to think about long-term data storage.

Digital documents in proprietary formats often become inaccessible within a few years due to undocumented changes to the XML schema that are intentionally employed for lock-in purposes.
This is relevant to most people, but especially to any organization that cares about long-term continuity. Which *should* include all levels of government, publicly-funded organizations, and any business that plans to be around for more than a decade.
